[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3907991, member: 76194"]I first bought the OP coin as a Ban Liang from the Qin period. However, once I received it I became suspicious that it was far too light to be Qin. I was pleasantly surprised to discover these coins were likely minted by the Han around the period of Emperor Gao (202 BCE-195BCE) to the period of the reign of Emperor Houshao (184-180BCE). Some people say these could have also been Qin dynasty around the time they were losing control of their kingdom. I guess it could be that too, though most probably it was minted during the Han regime. Impossible to say with 100% certainty due to the chaos of the period. Good to see the coin went to a good home. :cool:[/QUOTE]
